Niemeyer became world renowned for planning and building the capital Brasilia, which was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. His buildings are deeply respectful of the site and are characterized by an unmistakable, almost Baroque design impulse. He was highly prolific up until his death (2012) and is one of the most productive architects in history. This second edition has a new preface and updated biography and list of works.

Dutch photographer Erik van der Weijde uses a simple book of full-page, black-and-white photographs without text to present architect Oscar Niemeyer's monumental work in the modernist city of Brasília. These images of the so-called utopian city are stark and carefully devoid of people. In this way, Van der Weijde chooses for a clear focus on the structures and urban spaces, lending the series an architectural purity and imparting some of the grand scale of the city, perhaps even agreeing with the critics who have referred to it as dehumanising and full of elegant monotony--Publisher description.

In this informal, fluid autobiography, Niemeyer reveals that philosophy, politics and his many passions - including his large family, many friends, the sensuous land and open skies of Brazil, the female body, art and literature - have formed the key to his architecture and to his vibrant life. This volume provides readers with an unprecedented entrée into the life of one of this century's most influential architects : Oscar Niemeyer. It includes notes identifying the people and places cited in the narrative, a chronology of Niemeyer's career, a selection of archival photographs and forty sketches created by Niemeyer especially for this book.
